Road proposals map

The roads on our map are set to be built soon by local government or the Highways Agency. Business-led Local Enterprise Partnerships are also getting in on the act, taking on new transport spending powers.

Many of these roads are 'zombie' projects, left over from 1990s plans that would have doubled the size of the trunk road network. That time, the plans sparked a wave of campaigns and protests that stopped many projects, and the whole policy was finally dropped in 1997.

Now we need to act again. Some of these projects already have funding or planning permission, while others are at a much earlier stage with plenty of chances left to stop them. The bill already adds up to more than £30 billion - all of which would be better spent on smarter travel improvements instead.
